"Xu Fanghua has been saying that Zhu Yaowu is targeting their family, which means that Yaowu is in the capital. But Dad has dragged so many people and still hasn't found him, which means he is deliberately hiding from us. Since he wants to hide, we can't find him. I think it's better to do something to make him come back on his own."
"What's going on? Are you lying?" Zhu Weiyue hesitated for a moment, "You said that grandpa is sick?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhu Heping knocked him on the head, "Are you stupid? Are you cursing grandpa?"
"I want to say I'm sick, but will it help? Will he come back? Grandma is gone, and he must be worried about grandpa. He must be very worried when he hears that grandpa is sick."
After hearing this, Zhu Heping felt that this was indeed true.
Zhu Weiming said, "Then let's say grandpa is sick."
Ji Ling curled her lips and said, "Let's just say that Mom is sick. I noticed that Mom hasn't been in a good mood these past few days, so I asked her to take a leave to rest at home. This is a good excuse for me."
Zhu Yaowu is very filial. He knows that his mother-in-law fell ill because of him, so he will definitely come back.
After thinking about it, a few people agreed.
But this matter was kept from Kong Siya and she was not informed.
Ji Ling came forward and asked her to take a few days off to stay at home and spend time with her two children, and also said that she was worried about her health.
Kong Siya accepted Ji Ling's concern and didn't want her children to worry about her, so she asked for leave from the hospital.
But after Zhu Weiyue and the other two got their way, it turned out that Kong Siya was sick and refused to go to the hospital at home.
This rumor spread in the hospital. After hearing it, a colleague in the hospital called Zhu's home, but found that no one answered the call.
So the rumor got more and more intense.
Only a week has passed and Zhu Yaowu still has not shown up.
Kong Siya was about to start work, and she couldn't stop the person, so she could only let him go back.
As a result, when Kong Siya came back from the hospital in the evening, she called Ji Ling and others to her.
She said nothing, just looked at the four of them.
Ji Ling felt guilty and admitted her mistake first, "Mom, we saw that you were listless every day, so we thought of tricking Zhu Yaowu and getting him back."
"When I went to the hospital today, everyone was like they saw a ghost. They said I was sick and that no one answered the phone at home. Later, they said I had already taken care of my funeral." Kong Siya recalled the frightened look on the faces of the people in the hospital when they saw her, and shook her head. "I know you care about me, but don't do this again in the future."
Ji Ling smiled and hugged her mother-in-law's arm, "Mom, are you feeling better?"
"I'm fine. I guess you just missed your grandma. She passed away peacefully. She still had four grandchildren who weren't married yet, and she just passed away like this."
Kong Siya's voice choked and she cried on Ji Ling's shoulder.
The three Zhu brothers also had red eyes.
Although they always act as if nothing has happened, they will secretly cry when no one is watching.
My grandmother has a good personality. Although my grandfather seems to be the head of the family, all the power is held by my grandmother.
No one could have imagined that someone who was fine during the day would suddenly pass away.
Ji Ling was also wiping her tears. The whole family cried together, and Kong Siya looked much more energetic.
The next day, everyone went to work. Ji Ling left last and ended up seeing Lin Liying at the gate of the compound.
Lin Liying blocked her way and said, "I want to go in."
"What are you doing in there? Why didn't you come back when grandma passed away? Did you believe the notification from your family? What did you say? This is not your home, and you will never come back in your lifetime. Why are you coming back now? With what identity?"
"Ji Ling, how do you talk to your elders?"
"Elder? Where are the elders? Whose elder are you?" Ji Ling used to be polite to her for the sake of her grandparents, but her grandmother passed away and this person didn't come back. Why should Ji Ling still give her face? "If you have any shame, you'd better leave quickly and don't let people laugh at you here."
"I want to go in and see my mother. Why are you stopping me?"
Ji Ling smiled, "It wasn't me who stopped you, it was the security guard who stopped you. You seem to have made a mistake, right? Didn't you not go in when I came out? Now you're accusing me of stopping you. Are you picking on the weak?"
"I don't care. Take me in right now, or I'll tell the Zhu family that it's not that I don't come back to visit, it's that you're the one who's stopping me from going in."
"It's up to you." Ji Ling was too lazy to say anything more to her and walked straight to the car.
Lin Liying chased after him, "Ji Ling, what's wrong with you going back to work now? I can make you come down the first time, and I can make you come down the second time."
"You try it and see if it's your daughter or me who comes down in the end."
Lin Liying was frightened by Ji Ling's eyes.
Ji Ling smiled coldly, opened the car door and got in. Then she watched Lin Liying stomping her feet outside and drove away.
When I arrived at the office, I happened to meet Zhong Yali.
Seeing Zhong Yali nodding and greeting her, Ji Ling said, "Your mother went to the gate of the compound to make trouble again, and she said she wanted to get rid of my job."
Zhong Yali's face changed drastically. "I'm sorry, I will keep an eye on her."
Ji Ling turned and left.
She brought up the matter because she saw that Zhong Yali was not confused.
Zhong Yali felt uneasy at work the whole day, her eyelids kept twitching, and she always felt that something was going to happen.
He looked at his watch from time to time, and his movements were so frequent that everyone in the department noticed it.
But before I could get off work, Rong Junjie called me over.
Rong Junjie was their supervisor. He called Zhong Yali into the office and pointed to a chair for her to sit on.
Zhong Yali was feeling uneasy, "Director Rong, what's the matter?"
"Zhong Yali, you have been performing very well since you joined the company. As a newcomer, you have been appointed as the section chief. The company values you very much. You should be able to feel that. You just need to work hard and have a stable family."
As he spoke, Rong Junjie handed her a letter of complaint, "This is the letter of complaint your mother handed over, reporting Ji Ling, saying that her private life is chaotic and that she pissed off her ex-husband's grandmother to death. I believe you must know the lies in this letter."
Zhong Yali's face turned pale, and her hands were shaking with anger when she received the letter. "Director Rong, this is my fault. I will tell my mother when I get home, and I will also go to Ji Ling to apologize."
"This is not a question of apology. Your mother submitted this letter of complaint to our company, which means it was your opinion. Otherwise, she could have reported it somewhere else. The higher-ups also know about this letter, and they want you to be investigated as well. A department like ours cannot have problems at work because of personal reasons."
Rong Junjie said this without a smile on his face, and asked Zhong Yali to leave.
